Jones’s new record

Vet­eran hill­climber Richard Jones has set a new pre-1971 class record at Lo­ton Park in his rare Brab­ham BT29X. The Glouces­ter­shire driver took ad­van­tage of per­fect con­di­tions 10 days ago to knock more than 0.5s off the 12-year-old record held by Peter Voigt in the 3.5-litre Techcraft-buick.
